Replace the racy 'inner continue, outer continue, quit' pattern with 'detach, quit' inside the breakpoint commands. After the previous inner continue, the inferior could exit and the gdb stub could close the remote before gdb dispatched the outer continue, producing 'Remote connection closed' and a non-zero exit. The new shape lets the host run the guest call to completion on its own after detach, with no pending remote work in gdb. Signed-off-by: Ludvig Liljenberg <4257730+ludfjig@users.noreply.github.com>
